So because we'll never know how some potential transcendent superstar would've done in Jordan's era, no one could ever match or surpass him? And who said anything about flopping? Its this type of thinking that detracts from the praise over Jordan when you basically admit that there's no way you would put someone on his level.

I'm a huge Jordan fan and in my years of watching I don't think anyone has been able to touch his greatness, including Lebron. But 50 years is a long time. There's a good chance we see someone in that timeframe come along to match or surpass him. There's also a good chance we don't. As a basketball fan though, I hope it happens.

As a basketball that would be awesome, but only if he played for the Bulls.
